Augsburg College present Advent Vespers Services

Nov. 07, 1997

Augsburg College will present its 18th annual festival worship
services, Advent Vespers, on Friday, December 5 at 6 and 8:30 p.m., and Saturday,
December 6 at 4:30 and 7:30 p.m. All four services will be at Central Lutheran Church
in downtown Minneapolis, located at 333 South Twelfth Street. Advent Vespers celebrates
the beginning of the Christmas season with traditional and contemporary hymns, anthems,
and carols arranged for choral groups, soloists, and orchestra. Performers will include
the Augsburg Choir, the Masterworks Chorale, the Riverside Singers of Augsburg, the
Vespers Orchestra, pianist Jill Dawe, and organist Dr. Stephen Gabrielsen. Conductor
and artistic director for the services is Peter Hendrickson, Director of Choral Activities
at Augsburg College.

The theme for this year's services is "Light of the World," and the program will include
seasonal readings, liturgical processionals, and the traditional congregational singing
of "Silent Night" in the candlelit sanctuary of this magnificent church. Nearly 10,000
people participate in Advent Vespers each year. The Advent Vespers services will also
be broadcast on Sunday, December 14 at 5 p.m. on WCAL-FM at 89.3.
